The 85% State Quota seats in all state government medical colleges are strictly reserved for candidates who possess an official Domicile of Uttar Pradesh. Reservation benefits are allocated category-wise according to Uttar Pradesh government policies. Candidates who completed their Class 10th and 12th from Uttar Pradesh schools do not require a separate domicile certificate to claim these state quota seats.
Uttar Pradesh is highly popular as an **"Open State"**. This means that 100% of seats in private unaided medical colleges (Management Quota) are completely open to qualified candidates from all states of India, without any domicile constraints.
